The Monk That Wanted To Renounce Asceticism

Chapter 1317: Money Money Money

The other villagers and tourists also came over. When they saw what was happening, they started discussing.

Just as everyone was talking, the door to the hummer right in front was opened by a black-suited man. He respectfully made an inviting gesture before a person got out!

That person wore a pair of cloth shoes, a cotton-padded jacket, and thick cotton trousers. He even had plaited hair!

No matter how one looked at it, he didn’t look compatible with the huge lineup he had brought.

When Wang Yougui saw the face, his face instantly turned livid. Wasn’t this the fake cheat that he had chased away?

Wang Yougui thought to himself, “Could it be that the big boss of the large corporation bore a grudge and came to set things right?”

Wang Yougui felt a little guilty. He had chased them away when they came to give him money.

Anyone else would feel awkward about this…

The person was none other than Li Daguang!

Although Li Daguang was Southeast Asian, he believed that investing in China was for the best, considering the close distance and the rapid boom in the Chinese economy.

Hence, not only was he a successful businessman in Southeast Asia, he also had a huge corporation in China. Hence, after the few of them left, he was the first person to quickly gather the money and came with a convoy to show off.

Was Li Daguang bearing grudges?

Li Daguang naturally held grudges!

But could he afford to bear the grudge?

In order to establish ties with Fangzheng, he naturally couldn’t!

As a businessman, Li Daguang was displeased with Wang Yougui, but he had made a choice.

Furthermore, he still needed Wang Yougui to be a middle-man, so he naturally couldn’t embarrass Wang Yougui.

Therefore, when Li Daguang saw Wang Yougui, he laughed out loud. “Village Chief Wang, we meet again. Has the village discussed the hundred-million investment I previously mentioned?”

Upon hearing that, Wang Yougui knew that Li Daguang was giving him face to help him smooth things out.

He blushed as he smiled bitterly. “Old Sir, you’re being too polite. I was in the wrong the last time, so you don’t have to worry about me anymore. I admit my faults.”

Li Daguang was taken aback. He knew many people; and most people were concerned about their pride. Even though he was already so old, he still couldn’t give up his pride completely.

It was especially so when in front of fellow villagers and close friends.

However, the village chief was able to let it go just like that…

However, when Li Daguang saw the looks of admiration from the others, he was suddenly enlightened. Sometimes, letting things go didn’t mean that one would be looked down upon. It didn’t mean a loss; on the contrary, there were times when one obtained more by letting things go.

Li Daguang sighed. “As expected of someone at the foot of Mt. One Finger. Impressive! Alright, there’s no need to curry favor. Let’s get down to business.”

Wang Yougui said with a smile, “Alright, let’s get down to business. How much do you plan on investing, and what do you plan on investing in? Let’s make a deal first. We won’t do anything that will ruin the ecosystem.”

Li Daguang laughed out loud and said, “I said 100 million the last time, but I’ve decided to donate 300 million US dollars. As for what to do with it, I’m just in charge of donating. Why should I consider how it’s used?”

Wang Yougui was taken aback. “Donate?”

Li Daguang nodded and said, “Yes! A pure donation!”

Upon hearing that, the villagers of One Finger Village were clearly shocked.

Although One Finger Village could be considered quite affluent now, just a few million was an astronomical figure, much less a few hundred million!

The main point was that these few hundred million was to be donated to them…

Everyone looked at one another, not knowing how to spend so much money.

At that moment, engines roared again. Three convoys entered the village. It was Baird, Yalman, and Nicholas.

Nicholas was dressed gentlemanly, unlike Li Daguang.

Although Yalman and Baird weren’t wearing very formal clothes, they were clean and presentable.

The moment the trio got out of their cars, they saw Li Daguang. They exchanged looks and saw the anger in each other’s eyes. He was even faster than them!

Yalman shouted from afar, “Village Chief Wang, we meet again.”

Wang Yougui hurriedly nodded. “That’s right… I’m really sorry about last time.”

Yalman roared with laughter, “It’s fine. There’s a Chinese saying: an exchange of blows may lead to friendship. Li Daguang, how much did you donate? I’ll double it.”

Li Daguang glared at him and said, “Are you looking for trouble? I’ll double the amount you give!”

Baird chuckled. “No matter how much you offer, I will double it. Oh, to be precise, I do not represent myself. I represent South Africa’s Sawyer, India’s MiG, and England’s Mistle. As for America’s Gleiter, I believe I shouldn’t represent him. He’s a person with bad intentions.”

Nicholas chuckled and said, “I’ll pay as much as you pay.”

Wang Yougui heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Although it was a good thing that everyone was claiming to double the donations, it was a fight between gods. If they were to really get angry with each other and skip the donations, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

Therefore, Wang Yougui hurriedly said, “Everyone, there’s no need for that. I think it’s best we don’t keep doubling. It’s good as long as it’s all about the same…”

Nicholas said, “Alright, stop being difficult. Since it’s a donation, there’s no need to be so angry.”

Li Daguang said, “He started the trouble first.”

Yalman said, “Who asked you to break the rules by coming first?”

Baird said, “Li Daguang, how much are you donating?”

Li Daguang said, “300 million USD!”

Before the others could say anything, the rumbling of engines sounded, but it didn’t sound like a car.

Everyone looked up and saw two helicopters flying over from afar. Before the helicopters arrived, one revealed a large banner. “I’m here. Please accept the small token of appreciation.”

Following that, the helicopter suddenly sped up and someone appeared at the door. A huge box was thrown out!

Splash!

Cash flew down from the sky like a snowstorm!

Then, they were blown up by the wind from the propeller. They resembled dancing butterflies!

However, the butterflies were rather expensive…

However, the crowd below completely boiled over with excitement.

Be it villagers or tourists, since when had they ever seen people throw money like that?

Everyone cheered and jumped up to catch the money.

When Wang Yougui saw this, he quickly organized people to maintain order so as to prevent any more chaos. If anything happened, it would be disastrous.

However, he had underestimated the person on the helicopter. After the first box of money, the second helicopter produced another banner: “Are you happy? Shout out! There’s still more”

When the people below saw this, they shouted at the top of their lungs, “More! We’re happy!”

Then, another box of money was poured out…

Under them, Baird and the others looked up at the plane, mumbling, “Who is this fellow?”

Yalman said calmly, “Based on the extravagant actions, it’s definitely Ottosky. He likes to play such big, exhilarating games of throwing money. Back in Russia, he had done this plenty of times…”
